The Old Anstey Bus at last year’s Gala
Anstey Gala Day will be Saturday 18th September 2010. It takes place on the Recreation Ground, Stadon Road, Anstey and this year’s theme is to be the celebration of peace at the end of World War 2 in 1945. Plans are being made and are suggestions welcome! Please save Union (Jack) Flags and bunting to decorate the stalls and think about your 1940’s costumes. If anyone has any photos of Anstey and Anstey people, from the war years, or newspaper cuttings about our area, we would love to take a copy to be displayed on Gala day. (Tiny snaps can be doubled in size on a computer, and of course we can let you have an enlarged copy too). Please contact Kath on 0116 212 1309 or Anne on 0116 236 3977.
Bradgate, Rothley, Mountsorrel and Birstall Area Forum The next meeting of the Bradgate, Rothley, Mountsorrel and Birstall Area Forum will be held on Wednesday 9th June, at 7.00pm. The venue for the meeting will be Christchurch and St Peter’s CE Primary School in Mountsorrel. As always, the meeting is open to all members of the communities in the Forum area and offers an opportunity to meet councillors and officers responsible for your services and to raise items for discussion. You will also be able to ask a question on any aspect of local service provision. The focus of the meeting on 9th June will be on the progress of the projects that the previous meeting, held on 17th March, agreed should be supported with the Forum’s one-off budget of £20,000. These had been in Mountsorrel, Birstall and the Bradgate area and represented Forum members’ views about what was most important to address local priorities in the Forum area. Cllr Leigh Harper-Davies said “It was nice for me, as a borough councillor, to hear what local people want and see the local community working together in such a positive and constructive way.” Full details of the meeting will be available on the Forums website which is www. leicestershireforums.org. If you would like any further information please contact Richard Downing, Community Engagement Manager, on 0116 3055823.
